Thank you. As someone who knows nothing about that religion this headline was extremely confusing to me

Thanks for sharing your experience! Those examples don’t seem so subtle at all! Sorry you have to live with that shit

Real talk - how often do you experience overt, interpersonal racism? How often do you experience more subtle “accidental” racism?

What part of the country are you in?

I guess my point is that the big debate is whether women should be able to get an abortion at all or not. I believe conservative Christian leaders are resolute in stating that any abortion is anti-Christian and anti-conservative, so you might be less of one that you think.

Fair answer. There’s no denying that men should have a lot of (and a lot more) accountability in pregnancy, but that’s kind of beside the point in the debate around abortion rights.

I don’t think most people would defend the right to an abortion once the fetus becomes viable, nor do I think many women get abortions so late. I don’t have the stats on that, but I’m pretty sure that’s all just extreme scare-mongering from the anti-abortion lobby. They’re trying to prevent any abortion and use extremely rare/non-existent scenarios to push that agenda.

There is also a huge range of scenarios under which a women might want an abortion. I have a personal example. A very close family member of mine had an abortion when she and her husband were actively trying to have a second child. The fetus was not growing and multiple doctors confirmed that the pregnancy was going to result in a miscarriage at some point, but it was unclear when that would happen. Instead of waiting potentially months for a surprise miscarriage to happen, she decided to have an at-home abortion using mifepristone. It was purely out of bodily autonomy. Now conservative Christians are trying to take that right away from her and thousands of women in the same position.

How do you feel about women making decisions about their own reproductive health?

If you don’t think women should be allowed to have abortions, how do you reconcile that with the goal of “not ramming your religion down other people’s throats”?

If you do think women should be allowed to have abortions, are you really a Christian conservative?

It really should be proper fedi-etiquette for a community owner to seek out and link to similar communities in the side bar. Not sure why they don’t do that either.

Tl;dr - some businesses will be impacted, but it probably won’t drag down our economy much at all.

Statistical modeling.

And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.

Pretty much because all these indictments are also bringing up stuff that happened a few years ago. It’s clear that it just takes that long to do the whole process, and maybe they had to wait until after he was president anyway. So I started thinking about all the other shit he did, and this one stood out as one of the worst.

The system works
